A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a largely vertical stress. Strokes transition cleanly from thick stems to hairline terminals, with sharp, well-defined apexes and joins that give the letters a polished, print-oriented feel. Proportions are moderately generous, with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm; capitals read stately and structured, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic flavor in details like the two-storey a and g and the tapered finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, producing an even, cohesive texture in mixed text.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine-style setting where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for display use—titles, pull quotes, and refined branding—especially where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting established publishing and classic typography. Its sharp contrast and poised letterforms feel authoritative and elegant rather than casual, lending a sense of seriousness and heritage.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-rooted serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast presence. Its goal seems to be delivering a familiar, authoritative typographic voice with enough crisp detail to feel elegant in both text and prominent settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a smooth reading texture at larger sizes, with hairlines and serifs adding sparkle without breaking the flow. The italics are not shown; all forms presented are upright. Punctuation and dots appear compact and dark, supporting a clean, composed color across lines.
